Remind me to never enter into a partnership with any of you.
It would be nice if we had the sort of system where conference loyalty mattered a great deal. We'd still be in Southwest Conference! Maybe you would be in a football-playing Metro Conference or C*USA v1.0. But (with the exception of Memphis) the departing schools were all placed with other in-state schools that there is not a great anxiousness to join up with. Particularly with UCF and USF with regards to FIU, but also with UH and SMU with both UNT and UTSA (I don't think it would be as much of a problem if there was only one of those two). And... an 18-team central-and-eastern conference has limited appeal. And if we left anybody behind (if we were invited back but the others stiffed), that would bring us back to the the disloyalty that we would be seeking to shun anyway.
